Chapter 551 - No Bargains (1/2)
"I do not have raw uranium, but I do have enriched uranium," Han Tianyu said.
"A few tonnes…" Jiang Fei smirked. The amount of nuclear material was enough to raze Japan to the ground. However, it would hardly satisfy 0541's energy requirements.
"Captain, if the enriched nuclear energy is highly concentrated, it should be able to recover my energy levels to 20% or even 30%!" 0541 answered after doing the calculations.
"That's not enough either… Forget it. Brother Yu, can you contact the European Vatican for me?" Jiang Fei finally decided to give up on Han Tianyu's small amount of resources.
Enriched uranium was not a normal item. Although Han Tianyu had a bit of the resource, it did not belong to him. Jiang Fei did not want to cause trouble for Han Tianyu for such a small matter. Moreover, Jiang Fei had rejected the government superior's invitation to meet up. If he were to use their resources now, it would be unjustifiable.
"European Vatican? Ah Fei, is there something going on with you?" Han Tianyu was surprised.
"I want to discuss a deal with them," Jiang Fei replied.
"For uranium?" Han Tianyu probed.
"Yeah." Jiang Fei nodded. He did not want to hide it from Han Tianyu. After all, he would need Han Tianyu to bargain for him during the trade talks.
"Hehe. Ah Fei, I think you are getting too far ahead of yourself." Han Tianyu laughed as he continued speaking. "If I don't have it guessed wrongly, the amount of uranium you need is so great that you don't even think what I have is enough. Isn't that the case?"
"Hehe…" Jiang Fei laughed, embarrassed.
"Haih, I knew it! However, uranium is such a rare battle resource. Why would they give you that much? Some things cannot be bought with money!" Han Tianyu sighed as he said. From his facial expression, Jiang Fei knew that Han Tianyu must have been rejected before.
"Who said I wanted to use money? I'll use potions! The potions will allow them to recover Inner Qi and other energy swiftly!" Jiang Fei said.
The potions Jiang Fei mentioned were the concentrated version of the Mana Potions in the game. They were similar to the concentrated Health Potions—Grand Restore Pill.
Previously, Jiang Fei did not produce the potions because he did not have any use for them. In the beginning, all of Jiang Fei's powers came from his equipment and therefore he did not require any energy recovery. Later on, although he acquired his own energy, he did not experience energy depletion due to the quick energy recovery from the energy vortex in his body. Therefore, he never thought of producing the potions.
However, now that he needed to acquire energy for 0541, he had to think of such ways.
"What?! You actually have this kind of potion?" Han Tianyu was surprised. Although Jiang Fei had previously provided them with a potion which permanently increased one's energy recovery rate, there were only four of them. They had already been consumed by the powerful individuals in the Martial Art Alliance.
However, the potion which Jiang Fei now spoke of was clearly an item to be used on-the-go. Although its level was incomparable to the previous type of potion, its price was even higher. It was a life-saving potion which was more valuable than the Grand Restore Pill.
For a high level Metahuman, the Grand Restore Pill only helped with faster wound recoveries. Against a strong opponent, getting hurt meant that the person was much weaker in general. It meant one was inferior either because the opponent was too strong or the person was in poor physical condition. With depleted energy, all the more one could not defeat his or her opponent even with fully recovered injuries.
However, if one could quickly recover used energy, then it would be possible to spam skills against the opponent. One would even be able to use ultimate skills without worrying about running out of energy. This would pressure the opponent despite the difference in strength.
